QUOTO"It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. The quotations, when engraved upon the memory, give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more."Winston Churchill (1874-1965), British Prime Minister

Interesting shot Tony, you have taken some great silhouettes. When I first opened it, I thought you had flown over to Australia for the 75th anniversary of the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (which is today). You certainly have to admire the people who work on such structures. Milton

Thanks for the comment Milton. I have a liking for silhouettes and shadows, and they do crop up a lot in my shots. You're right about it looking like the bridge, and about working in such places - I'm glad I don't have to do it!
